Light Clay

Light Clay is a held item in the Pokémon series that extends the duration of the moves Light Screen and Reflect from the usual 5 turns to 8 turns. This increase in duration can significantly bolster a team's defensive capabilities, providing a longer window for reduced damage from special and physical attacks, respectively.

Introduced in Generation IV, Light Clay has become a strategic tool in competitive play, especially for teams that employ dual screens strategies. Pokémon with the move Light Screen, such as Alakazam or Klefki, can capitalize on Light Clay to provide extended coverage for their teammates, giving them more opportunity to set up or pivot without taking heavy damage.

Interesting Facts:

1. Strategic Importance: Light Clay is often paired with Pokémon that have access to both Light Screen and Reflect, like Espeon or Grimmsnarl, enabling them to support the entire team more effectively.

2. Synergy with Abilities: Pokémon with the ability Prankster, which gives priority

Held: The holder's Reflect and Light Screen will create effects lasting for eight turns rather than five. As this item affects the move rather than the barrier itself, the effect is not lost if the holder leaves battle or drops this item.

Short Effect: Held: Light Screen and Reflect used by the holder last 8 rounds instead of 5.
